The Big Help - Prologue It was a dark and stormy night but that was another story. I had just finished "The Case of The Missing 'W' key" when some Marketing Bozo wandered into my cubical with an idea to harness the synergistic components of our competitors strategies and announce it at next week's trade show in Vegas. Well, it had been a long day and like a programmer who's Mt. Dew filled refrigerator had just been confiscated by a corporate clown from facilities; I was tired and not happy. I do not suffer fools gladly and fools that wear ties hardly ever. Hi, I'm Nick Bytes and this is my story. While surfing the net one sunny evening in northern California, I stumbled upon a web-site that seemed different from all the others. PBJ's for your brain just had a nice ring to it and I found myself diving in. The puzzles are supposed to be made for your average Joes (what the Marketing Geniuses would call "Mom and Pop") but as I dove into each game I found a remarkable thing happening. I could pick my level of difficulty on almost all of the games I found (except for that infuriatingly troublesome and poorly named Lab-16 (with 22 puzzles, 5 training and 17 labs (although I remember thinking that maybe that last puzzle wasn't really a puzzle at all))). From Novice to Expert with enough puzzles to challenge your average Joes or your average Rubik Cube solvers for a lifetime. Literally millions of puzzles in most of the games. When I first arrived at Puzzles By Joe, I didn't have a Benjamin to my name so I went immediately to the free stuff. I had heard you could win the Recon game by solving the mystery of Lab-16, so that's where I began. But like a Nitrogen Atom surrounded by a bunch of Carbon Rings, I quickly realized I was out of my element. (Go to Chapter-01 for more of the story)
